WHAT DOES SHE DO ALL DAY?

Picture this:

Stew is doing the weeding, I've asked Brylee to sweep the patio.. I'm lying on the couch with a killer headache... and Brylee askes Stew:

Brylee: "Dad, how come we have to do all the work? What does Mum do every day? Does she just lie on the couch all the time?"


WTF? Stew did his best to explain just WHAT I did every day.... I'm lying there listening, thinking: "Great, my daughter thinks I"m a lazy tart who just lies around doing nothing all day!

All I can think of is... YOUR time will come little Miss, and you are going to find out exactly what a Mother does all day!!!

Pfffffft!

So, it's Monday, and everyone knows how much I love monday's... he's at work, kids are at school and I can do whatever I like... hmmm.....might just LIE ON THE COUCH! ha ha ha!

But in reality I will do the bloody housework and potter around doing whatever needs doing.... you know... housewifey stuff. Gawd how thrilling ....
Here's Teddy looking soooo much happier/healthier than he was 2 weeks ago! I'm just so happy he's better.... AND I weighed him yesterday and he's put on 1.3 kilos since he started eating his new food!!! I will have to put him on a diet if he keeps that up! ( he was 3.70 kg and now he's 5 kg!)

One for the books... I get up to school today and Griffin's teacher pulls me aside to tell me that 'they' have reviewed Griffin's paperwork that came from his old school... and lo and behold they HAVE to take him into their Reading Recovery Programme as he was on it in his last school and had not completed it! So, he starts on Thursday.... see what happens when you kick up a fuss? EXCELLENT. Shame I had to get all stroppy before they did it though.

I've been making swimming tog bags for the kids... and lying on the couch! lol

I don't read blogs over the weekends anymore... so I make a half hearted attempt at catching up.. and give up! I just 'marked as read" over 100 updated blogs... errrrr sorry about that!

Got to pull finger now and sort out dinner... Stew did dinner over the weekend, and folded all the washing... seems he DOES do everything around here! Now where was that couch?...


ABOVE: the finished tog bags... the kids are wrapt with them!

End of Day: another day bites the dust... I got a bit done and am happy with the day. nite nite.

  4. Oh you know kids think the cleaning fairy comes everyday. Unless they actually see you doing it, they just cant fathom all the work we do.

  5. DUH! SUDDENLY the kid qualifies. They were hoping to just let him go, the joiks.

    Um, interesting photo popping up on my reader. Brylee will NOT look like that in 20 years, Lord willing.

    God bless ya!!! You sound better.

    Too much time over the sewing machine may have given you the headache!

    You are a classic Chris.... I thought that comment from Brylee about you lying on the couch all day was the funniest thing I have heard for ages.

    Where did you get that great photo of the woman on the couch, at first I thought it was you.

    I LOVE those bags. They are gorgeous! Well done.

  22. Oh if only she was older - you could tell her that you spend so much time lying on the couch because you're spending her inheritance on the maid ... lol

    Oh Teddy looks so cute in that photo - and looks amazingly like my Tara but skinnier - Tara eats ANYTHING in sight, i'd swear she would try and eat me if I let her!
